DEMO 2006 Starts

Like a rock concert for the digirati, Chris Shipley’s DEMO conference begins its 16th year in Phoenix, AZ today. In the 700-strong audience are the elite from the VC community, pundits from the tech rags and 60 or so hopeful startups eager to have their wares and inventions noticed.

The one week that the rain finally breaks in Seattle I find myself in Phoenix, Arizona. Beautiful, sunny weather has greeted visitors to DEMO 2006. I’ll be on hand for the next two days writing about the new companies that have come here to showcase their inventions, Web 2.0 creations and sweet, sweet ice cream makers. That’s right. Among all the Ajax-enabled, dot-com fangled goodies there’s one product I’m especially waiting to see demonstrated. It’s MooBella’s stand-alone creamery.

I’ll be posting pictures along the way and answering whatever questions get posted that appear to seek an answer from the event.
